关于客户
Guelph General Hospital (GGH) is a medical care facility serving 180,000 residents of Guelph and Wellington County in Ontario. Its 1,300 employees provide a full range of services including 24-hour emergency coverage, advanced technology and diagnostic support, and specialty programs such as vascular surgery. GGH collects an enormous amount of patient data. When analyzed in aggregate, that data has the potential to help departments improve their clinical and administrative procedures. However, turning patient data into actionable information was a challenge for GGH due to the scattered nature of the data across multiple information systems.
挑战
Guelph General Hospital (GGH) was struggling to obtain information from a MEDITECH health information management system. It was difficult to retrieve data from the system and hard to understand its static reports. Because data was scattered across many different information systems, administrators couldn’t achieve a holistic view of each patient’s experience, let alone roll up that data to gauge overall performance or use it to monitor hospital activities. The hospital needed a solution that could integrate data scattered among multiple information systems throughout the hospital. They also wanted to be able to conduct in-depth analysis of ambulance performance, admitted patients, emergency department visits, urgency levels of admitted patients, and other hospital performance metrics that drive positive outcomes for patients.
解决方案
GGH used Information Builders’ data integration, business intelligence (BI), analytics platform to gather and combine data, as well as to measure performance indicators and volumes in multiple clinics and departments. The hospital’s BI team used WebFOCUS and iWay to develop an integrated analytics environment that is accessible through a user-friendly BI portal. Dynamic reports and guided self-service analytics make it easy to identify trends and patterns in the data, and help hospital departments manage patient volume and flow. The new analytics system uses iWay DataMigrator as the gateway for accessing information from the hospital’s MEDITECH system and moving it into a data warehouse. GGH’s BI team used DataMigrator to build a generic extract, transform, and load (ETL) process that works with all of the hospital’s data. Users interface with the warehouse via the WebFOCUS portal while sub-portals direct them to various types of content.

Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
